  "account": "Jacob Bridgeman clinched victory in the PGA Biltmore Championship on Sunday, defeating fellow American Ben James by two strokes. Bridgeman posted an impressive scoring total of 26-under par 258, two strokes ahead of James' 260. The 26-year-old Bridgeman, hailing from Inman, South Carolina, bagged his second PGA crown, following his first success in February at Riviera. After birdieing four of the last six holes, Bridgeman claimed a two-shot lead, which he never relinquished. His extraordinary performance included eight birdies and an eagle across 72 holes. Bridgeman expressed his emotions, saying, \"It was super cool, it was awesome. I felt like I had all my family and friends cheering for me. It was pretty neat. I'm super pumped.\" The achievement marks a significant moment for Bridgeman, who will represent the United States in the upcoming Presidents Cup at Medinah. James held his position at the top with a score of 260, followed by Ricky Castillo and Neal Shipley, both tied at 263. Other Americans, J.T. Poston and Jackson Koivun, shared fifth place with a score of 263.",
